Nucleation of Superconductivity in Thin Type-I Foils
Abstract
The nucleation of the superconductive phase in macroscopic type-I foils in a slow, continuously decreasing perpendicular magnetic field is observed to first occur at the field Hc3, and reinitiate at Hc2. The observed variation of Hc2 with temperature further yields Ginzburg-Landau parameters for the materials approximately a factor 2 below tabulations, consistent with previous determinations in small grains.
